John Burgess asked:


Thanks to all who responded regarding UDP port 137.  I learned some
interesting facts.  I got a new one this morning.  Does anyone know why
would someone/something be hitting TCP port 143?  This was at 2:30 AM
from bay-030-b5.codetel.net.do (206.105.238.30 - Dominican Republic - a
router?) Protocol=TCP Port 2734->143?

  Port 143/tcp is IMAP. THere are several known vulnerabilities with some IMAP
servers that he may be trying to exploit.
